Culture of watercress.

There are many opportunities, writes q
correspondent of The Country Gentleman,
which may be taken advantage of by farm
ers everywhere, who have q clear running
brook. of growing this most wholesome
saled for their own use. A small quantity
Of seed sown upon the water, or mixed
with earth and dropped here and there on
The sand or rocky bottomjust now, will re-
turn next spring and furnish a copious
supply for the family table. The plant
belongs to the crucifeIae or mustard fam
lily, contains some sulpher and q pungent
essential oil which is very agreeable, and
when eaten in the form of sand viches with
thin slices Of sweet bread and fresh sweet
butter il q most desirable relish and ex-
eeedingly wholesome and even mildly
medicinal food very useful in the spring.
1t isan squist and requires cold running
wner. / will describe my plantation.
1t was in q swamp, almost level at the foot
OF stsepiy rising ground from which copi-
Gus springs broke out and fed the swamp.
A broad ditch was ont to drain the swamp
at the foot of the slope, and laterals 200
feet apart through the swamp with fall
OF SIX inches to the hundred feet to q
stream into which they discharged. Gates
were put in the bitches to back up the wa
ter Ia the wiuter to cover the cress and
prevent il from being frozen. Cuttings of
the plans weae laid in the bitches IS they
were ding and trodden into the sandy mud
and seed was sown when the cuttings were
exhausted. These bitches formed q new
plantation, which was stocked from an old
one.-vhich was or the farm when l came
into possession of IL, and from which the
previous owner had paid for it. This was
but a small affair, too, about GOO feet long
ard SIX feet wide, but ii had a copious
spring at the head OF it. which did not
freeze Ia the winter. This Is q most import
ant point, as it secures the most profitable
returns from winter culture by the use of
glass sashes over the beds.

Live stock Notes.

It needs extra warm pens and good feed
ing to make late fall pigs pay for winter
ing. AS rule pigs dropped in October or
LATER should be sold for what they will
bring. They will cost more to winter than
they will be worth IN the spring.
The English method in raising pure
breds, OF allowing the calf to take all its
mothers milk, is quite too expensive In
rearing animals for beef, and quite unnec-
essary in raising even first-class animal.
The refuse OF dairy, with oil meal, pea
meal, ETC., is quite sufficient after the
third week to grow a fine calf.-Stewart.
It is remarked that "the more than
usual prevalence of Texas fever in the
orth during the past summer, and the
prospect that there will be in the future
much heavier movements in Texas cattle
and greater danger of infection than here
tofore, will probably result in some very
stringent laws concerning the movements
of the cattle by the Legislatures OF the
States which hold sessions this winter"
Compare the fifty quarts Of milk per day
yielded by some of the prominent Holstein
COWS with the ten quarts from the ordinary

Dairy Notes.


The tutter fat of Guernseys is richer
than that of Jerseys. The globule is of
good size 80 that butter comes quickly.
Use the comb and brush as often on the
COW as on horses. 1t will make them feel
much better and improve their looks.
The creamery system is the most rational
and economical dairy process ever en-
ployed. 1t is gaining in public favor every
day.
Russian dairy products have made their
appearance in the English market. and the
prospects are favorable for large and in
creating trade in butter and cheese with
Russia.
Water must be pure and never given to
stock Immediately after feeding. OF course
then is when they want il the most, but it
injuTs their heath. Habituste them to
drink before eating.
COW with large udder is not Railways
an enormous mixer, nor is thick yellow
skin an unfailing sign OF rich milk;
although these are among the indications
respectively of abundance and richness of
milk.
The usual rule is to save the milk at the
end of the fifth to the seventh day after
calyiDg No fixed date can be given. There
should be no sign OF feveTishness or infiam-
nation alb ut the udder. and the peculiar
milk OF birth known as oolustrum, should
have entirely passed away.

English rose-groweys look on aghast at
the growing American practice of taking

plants for new ones. They still cling to
the cut.back system Of old plants.
1t is said that kind of winter csrna'

Dave Graham, son of Napoleon Ora
ham, of Miffiin, received severe injuries
from being thrown from horse while
passing through bars in fence, on the
night of Sunday, April 9th. The &C
cident happened near the house of a
neighbor, who heard sudden noise in
the neighborhood of the bars, and went
out to see what was the matter, when
he found young Graham lying I'M
scious upon the ground. The horse
had evidently ran against the bars in
the darkness, or attempted to jump
over them, and threw his rider. The
boys father was called, who took charge
of his son and sent for physician.
The unfortunate young man was badly
hurt about the head and neck, and was
for long time unconscious; but strong
hopes of his speedy and permanent
recovery are now entertained.

they ATTEMPTED to run away. When
they turned onto Commerce street both
men were thrown from the buggy, and
the team got loose and turned up Foun-
tain street, The son who was driving
escaped almost uninjured; but the
father was thrown to the ground under
a wagon which was standing in front
of David Jacko's store, and he received
several ugly cuts about the head and
face. He is now in fair way of re-
covery and it is hoped that his injuries
will not prove serious.
